Printing to several paper sizes

rbuser

Hi,

I need my report to be printed correct both to A4 and to Letter paper size.
Default is A4.
Everything is fine with portraits but I have problem with landscapes, where
the last columns disappear.

Is there any way the report to be stretched or something like that ?


Thanks.

Hi,

If you are using ReportBuilder 9 or above, you can use the Anchors feature
of each component to be sure they shift according to the page size. This
feature will only shift components however, there is no built in way to
stretch an entire report page to fit a different page size. It may be
possible to manually reposition your report components with a report object
loop before it is loaded depending on what paper size you are using.

Tech Tip: Loop Thru All Objects in a Report
---------------------------------------------

A ReportBuilder report is composed of a set
of components. The basic structure is

Reports.Bands[].Objects[]

The bands and objects within the report can
be accessed directly by object name or
via the Bands and Objects array properties.

Below is an example of using the Bands and
Objects array properties to change the font for
all objects on a report.


uses
ppClass;


procedure AssignFontToReport(aFont: TFont; aReport: TppCustomReport);
var
liBand: Integer;
liObject: Integer;
lObject: TppComponent;

begin

for liBand := 0 to aReport.BandCount-1 do

for liObject := 0 to aReport.Bands[liBand].ObjectCount-1 do
begin
lObject := aReport.Bands[liBand].Objects[liObject];

if lObject.HasFont then
lObject.Font := aFont;

end;

end;
